Some things are so retardedly priced.
 
I went to buy water bottles for myself because our fridge still need to be plugged in to the water or w.e. A 12 pack of 500ml (6 litres in all) bottles cost 2.99. Then I noticed there are 4 litre jugs that cost 1.39 so I bought 2 and got 8 litres of water for 2.78 and a 10L cost 5.99.

So I saved 21 cents and got 2 more litres of water. I can get four 4L jugs at 1.39 for less than a 10L jug of the same water, so I get 6 more litres and save 50 cents.

If that mad any sense at all to anyone, grocery stores are dumb.

How dare you post a metric unit on here? Some people must be thinking "Litre? Is that some kinda shit that aliens excrete?"

some people dont want larger quantities ;)

12 water bottles takes up more room in your fridge than one 4L jug.

Also last time I checked 1 is less than 12. So if people wanted smaller quantities, they'd buy the 4L jug, haha.

Grocery stores are such a rip off. I pay like 5 cents a gallon at home for tap water or something like that. Makes me soo angryyyy rahhhh *tears off shirt*

It takes more plastic to make 12 small bottles than one bigger one. Maybe more plastic = less cost? :D Besides, they're happy to sell you free tap water anyway. :LOL:

I posted a metric unit on here (my height being 181cm) suspecting that ryne would get it wrong, and he did, thinking it was 5'9". :D

My tap water at home tastes so damn nasty, our old fridge had a water and ice despenser that was delicious and cold, but it broke and my dad hasn't hooked up the water in the new fridge yet.
